France raises terror alert level after Moscow attack claimed by IS group
Quick Glance: France Increases Terror Alert After Deadly Attack in Russia
  • France's government increased its security alert posture to the highest level on Sunday after the deadly attack at a Russian concert hall and Islamic State's claim of responsibility.

  • President Emmanuel Macron held an emergency security meeting after Friday's attack in a Moscow suburb killed over 130 people and was claimed by an Islamic State affiliate.

  • France was already on high security alert ahead of the Paris Olympics and Paralympics this year, expected to draw millions of visitors. Security concerns are notably high for the opening ceremony on July 26, with boats on the Seine River and large crowds watching from the embankments.

  • The country has been previously targeted by deadly Islamic State attacks, such as the Bataclan theatre massacre in 2015 where extremists shot concertgoers and held hostages for hours. French forces have also taken action against extremists in other regions.
